Abstract
An X-ray crystallographic study of the aluminum-nitrogen compound C52H 78Al4Li2N4 showed it to possess a ladder-shaped (AIN)(4) core. The mes ityl ligands of the inner nitrogen atoms are each metallated by one of their neighbouring aluminium atoms, while on the outer negative charg e is localised. The reported structure is the first tetrameric anionic Al-N compound.
